http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3445#note-8 So I'm marking this bug fixed. ** Changed in: shotwell (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782690 Title: Picasa upload not secure: asks for Google Password Status in Shotwell: New Status in “shotwell” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: shotwell It would be better if it used some sort of OAuth authentication token, so that the user's password is more secure and so that only the necessary permissions are granted to Shotwell (i.e. only to interact with Picasa, and not read Gmail emails, etc).
